Milestones APPICS

The next generation social media app.

APPICS is a next generation, reward-based social media application that runs on top of the STEEM blockchain and enables people from around the globe to connect allowing all participants to benefit. APPICS introduces a new ecosystem that merges lifestyle with generated income inside a single mobile application. The concept of turning “likes“ into currency has proven its feasibility and capability, as seen on Steemit.com with their upvoting system. With full support of and in cooperation with Steemit Inc., APPICS is the first Smart Media Token to launch on the Steem blockchain that aims at eliminating all barriers for the average social media user to enter the crypto-world.
